yeah I just couldn't put that much of a compromised product out there with my name on it.

I just had to get him out of sight & out of mind.

so anyway, I'm making some cypress pieces so I'm strippin' 'em & having Kristine draw them out. She's getting pretty good! Better than me anyway. I've definitely benefited from her being here.

and I think I'm actually done cutting on the "fir trader" (here lurking in the shadows of my living room with the "big kanaloa"....

of all the stuff I've made these 2 are my faves.

was planning on having them around for awhile, but I guess the fir trader
is sold. Prior to it's completion no less. Anyway, I guess I'll start sanding him up tomorrow and start the finishing process...
